3M 7000046090 Convolute Light Deburring Wheel 12 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000046090 is a convolute-constructed, non-woven light deburring wheel designed for light deburring, polishing, and finishing on metal, composite, and glass surfaces. Built with a soft construction, the wheel runs smoothly and requires less operator effort than harder alternatives. The non-woven web runs cool during use, making it well suited for heat-sensitive materials. At 12 inches in diameter and 1.69 inches wide, it fits standard arbor-mount setups common in fabrication and finishing environments. Each wheel weighs approximately 1.05 pounds.

This wheel is used in industrial and fabrication settings where fine burr removal and surface finishing must be completed in a single step. The soft, conformable structure keeps fresh abrasive mineral continuously exposed, delivering consistent results across metal alloys, composites, and glass. It is appropriate for bench grinders and pedestal-mounted finishing machines used by machinists, metal fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians. The unique resin system limits smearing, which reduces downstream cleaning and prep time between operations.

Key Features

• Convolute construction provides smooth, consistent operation with reduced operator fatigue
• Non-woven web runs cool, minimizing heat buildup on heat-sensitive materials
• Conformable structure keeps fresh abrasive mineral exposed for repeatable finishing results
• Resin system reduces smearing, cutting prep and cleanup time
• Multi-purpose use: deburring, polishing, blending, cleaning, and finishing in one wheel
• Compatible with metals, composites, and glass surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use convolute deburring wheel for standard arbor-mounted bench grinders and finishing machines that accept 12-inch diameter wheels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with rotary finishing equipment. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify that the arbor size and machine speed rating are compatible with the wheel specifications before operation. Always use appropriate eye protection and guards per applicable OSHA and machine manufacturer requirements.
